Welcome to this inviting and generously proportioned four-room apartment located on the third floor of a well-maintained apartment complex on Beresteinlaan in the desirable Zijden, Steden en Zichten neighborhood of The Hague. This property presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a spacious, light-filled home with three comfortable bedrooms, a delightful sunny balcony, and a substantial storage space located in the basement of the building.
Upon entering this welcoming apartment, one is immediately struck by the abundance of natural light that fills the living spaces. The elevated position on the third floor ensures pleasant views and a sense of privacy that is often sought after but not always found in apartment living. The property has been thoughtfully maintained and offers a comfortable living environment that can adapt to the needs of both couples and families alike.
The apartment complex itself benefits from an active Homeowners Association (Vereniging van Eigenaars or VvE), which ensures the building is well-managed and maintained. The association is professionally managed and maintains a healthy reserve fund for future maintenance and improvements. Additionally, the complex is working towards further sustainability improvements, demonstrating a forward-thinking approach to property management. The monthly VvE contribution is approximately €170.94, which covers the maintenance and management of the common areas and the building's exterior.
The location of this property is truly one of its standout features. Beresteinlaan is situated in a central position that puts all daily amenities within easy reach.

Families will appreciate the proximity to schools, while sports enthusiasts will find various sports clubs in the vicinity. Public transport connections are excellent, making commuting a breeze whether you are heading to work or exploring the wider area.
For those who enjoy outdoor activities and nature, the apartment is ideally positioned. The beautiful Zuiderpark, one of The Hague's largest green spaces, is easily accessible and offers a wonderful retreat for walks, picnics, or outdoor exercise. The coastal area of Kijkduin is also within easy reach, perfect for those relaxing beach days or refreshing seaside walks. The excellent connectivity to major roads provides convenient access to the vibrant center of The Hague, the agricultural region of Westland, and the city of Rotterdam.
The layout of the apartment has been designed with practicality and comfort in mind. Access to the apartment is gained through a secure central entrance with a staircase. Upon reaching the third floor and entering the apartment, you are welcomed by a spacious hallway complete with a meter cupboard. This hallway serves as the central hub of the home, providing access to virtually all rooms in the apartment.
The living room is a true highlight of this property. Wonderfully bright thanks to the large windows, this space offers ample room for both a generous seating area where you can relax and entertain, and a spacious dining table for family meals and gatherings. The unobstructed views from the living room create a pleasant atmosphere and provide plenty of privacy. The windows feature modern PVC frames, adding to the overall quality of the space.
Adjacent to the living area, you will find a well-appointed bedroom at the front of the apartment. This versatile space can serve multiple purposes, making it ideal as a children's room, a home office for remote work, or a comfortable guest room for visitors. Like the living room, this bedroom is equipped with a PVC window frame, ensuring good insulation and easy maintenance.
The kitchen has been practically designed to meet all your culinary needs. It comes equipped with various appliances and offers sufficient cabinet space for all your kitchen essentials. A convenient connection for the washing machine is also located in the kitchen area. From the kitchen, you have direct access to the balcony, making it easy to step outside and enjoy the fresh air.
Moving to the rear of the apartment, you will discover two additional bedrooms. The master bedroom is particularly spacious and features direct access to the balcony. Large windows in both bedrooms ensure that plenty of natural daylight fills these spaces, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout the day.
The balcony is positioned at the rear of the apartment, offering a peaceful outdoor space where you can sit and enjoy the unobstructed views of the surrounding greenery. This outdoor area provides a perfect spot for your morning coffee, an evening drink, or simply enjoying some fresh air. A practical balcony cabinet offers additional storage for outdoor items.
The bathroom has been fully tiled and is equipped with modern fixtures including a spacious walk-in shower, stylish washbasin furniture, a toilet, and a designer radiator. This well-appointed space meets all your daily hygiene and comfort needs.
In the basement of the building, you will find a large private storage room measuring approximately 17 square meters. This generous space is ideal for storing bicycles, seasonal items, or anything else you need to keep out of your living space but still want conveniently accessible.
Additional features of this property include its construction year of 1963, a living area of approximately 72 square meters, and an energy label rating of D. The property is heated by a Bosch combination boiler installed in 2016. The windows feature a combination of PVC frames and wooden frames with double glazing, contributing to the energy efficiency of the home.
It is important to note that this property is located on perpetual leasehold land from the municipality of The Hague. The current ground lease amounts to €162.46 per half year, excluding management costs.
The property is available immediately upon agreement, making it an excellent option for those looking to move quickly.
